Confidence in any weather

245/65/R17 Second set in 10 years through some crazy winters. Working for a snow removal company I needed to be at work and Defender LTX always made that possible! Excellent tire and worth every penny!

Great winter traction

I live in central Maine and our driveway is about 600 ft long and gets icy during the winter months. I have had no problems getting up the hill in all snow and ice conditions. Very happy with the performance of the tires.

Love my Michelin tires

I have been a Michelin customer since 1982. I have had many vehicles and have always used Michelin tires. The grip in rainy weather makes me feel secure. The durability is fabulous.

Great tires

I bought the truck new this is the tire that was on it, I love them, they handle great, not that much noise and hold to the conners great. No other compares. in my opinion.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

Repeat Michelin customer on my truck

I been switching out the OEM tires on my new Chevy Silverado's to Michelin immediately after purchasing a new truck for over a decade. Every feature of them makes the truck more enjoyable to drive. They settle the vibration which then quiets the interior of the vehicle. I get longer longevity and the peace of mind knowing I have a quality tire that withstands the Arizona heat and horrible roads is a bonus!

Disappointed after 6 years

Bought set of 4 in Jan 2019. Put 50,000 miles on them and the massive cracks between the tread valleys are extremely troubling. All 4 tires have the massive cracks. I have a lot of tread left (65%), but I can't bring myself to drive with them because of how bad the cracks are. I've never seen cracks this bad on tires that are 10 years old let alone 6. Not spending my $ on these again.

98,000 miles!

Unbelieveable product! This is my third set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires. I replaced my LTX M/S tires with LTX M/S 2. MY LTX M/S TIRES LASTED 98,000 MILES AND STILL HAS 4/32" TREAD LEFT! All performance attributes were still great including wet traction and low noise. Replaced them just to be safe. I've not purchased tires anywhere but Tire Rack since 1985 and see no reason to switch tire brands or retailer.
